After definition/creation of Margin Rules, it needs to be mapped with items, to determine which rule is applicable for which items. In GINESYS, mapping of margin rule with items is done at the Article level. A rule can be applied to one article, and therefore all the items belonging to that article group will follow the same rule. It may happen that same article when purchase from a different vendor or at different warehouse i.e. organization unit may apply different margins. Hence margin rule is assigned with article site wise and vendor wise. This works as one article may follow different rule when purchased from different vendors or from same vendor when purchased at different sites.

Once the rules are created the Retailer would like to allocate the rules to respective Organization Sites (typically warehouses, distribution centers) and Managed Sites (retail stores but which can do local purchases, e.g. vegetables, breads, dairy etc.). Further to allocation, the retailer may also want to de-allocate some rules from a site or make changes in the margin terms for for that Vendor-Article-Site combination.

The Margin Rule Allocation (Site Wise) module helps the retailer to allocate the decided margin rules to selected sites and manage the rules subsequently by providing de-allocation and editing feature for the Vendor-Article-Site combination. 

However, allocations of Margin Rule (Site wise) can only be done through the Import Excel wizard incorporated in the Utilities menu in the Admin module of GINESYS.

The user can allocate any of the margin rules in the window, provided the following conditions are fulfilled:
